"We Will Need Writers Who Can Remember Freedom”: Ursula Le Guin and Last Night’s N.B.A.s

"Power can be resisted and changed by human beings; resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art—the art of words. . . .The name of our beautiful reward is not profit. Its name is freedom." ~ Ursula Le Guin 



I got this link from a young woman whom I watched grow into her own power as her aunts and I hang out through the years. She comes from a long and strong lineage of women of substance.

She got her PhD in anthropology and teaches at the state university, inspiring another generation of movers and shakers. She runs a bookstore [Mt Cloud Bookshop] in our summer capital in the Mountain Province.

The Lim women and others like them keep our lights shining bright. A truly valuable inheritance.
